Waste Water
The toilet produces most of the waste water on board. You should collect it in the tank and dispose of it
on shore. It makes sense, when in port, to use always the facilities available in the ports.
Please note the existence of treaties which prohibit the discharge of human waste tanks, e.g. for the Baltic
Sea. Some countries have adopted rules prescribing sealed shut discharge devices on board.
5. Maintenance
5.1 Care and Cleaning
The boat should only be cleaned with fresh water, if possible. Environmentally compatible cleaning
agents suitable for FRP and varnished surfaces may be used for persistent dirt. Do not use any agents
containing silicone.
Special agents are offered for further treatment such as refurbishing and sealing of FRP surfaces. Only
use agents suitable for it!
Metallic parts may be cleaned with metal polish. Please note that aluminium parts are anodised and must
not be treated with scratching or polishing agents.
5.2 Repairs, Replaceable Items
Should damages occur on the boat when in use, please use only parts supplied by the manufacturer or
parts equal to them, if possible. This applies mainly to parts which have to stand certain stresses, e.g. parts
of the rigging, deck equipment etc. Our shipyard will assist you.
Repairs on the hull, drive system, rigging and sails should be left to a specialised company as they have
the relevant equipment and special knowledge of how to return to you a high quality boat after a repair.
This applies to damages of the structure, in particular.
Our shipyard will support you and recommend the names of specialised companies, if required, which are
in the position to carry out the repair in an expert manner.
5.3 Inspection of Units and Systems
The reliable functioning of the individual systems is important for the save operation of the watercraft.
Check equipment and systems regularly for their operativeness. Please use for this purpose the Manual
and/or the attached operating instructions.
5.4 Winter Storage
Winter storage is the time when your boat is unattended for a longer period. It must rest safely during this
time and should be stored in such a way that it is protected from atmospheric effects.
Pay attention to Section 2.6.
Empty the drinking and waste water tanks! Open the valves and empty them from remaining water.
It is best to fill the Diesel tank in order to reduce the formation of condensed moisture.
Remove all wastes.
Clear the boat of valuables. Cushions and sails should be stored in a dry, ventilated and frost-free place.
If the boat is covered by a tarpaulin, you should ensure good ventilation under the tarpaulin. The
ventilation openings of the boat should be kept open, if possible.
The tarpaulin should be well secured so as to prevent chafing on the hull, in particular the FRP.
The sea water circuit of the engine system must be drained, including the exhaust system. The inner
cooling circuit contains an antifreeze and does not need to be drained provided it contains sufficient
antifreeze to cope with the temperatures to be expected.
The batteries must be removed from board and stored well charged in a dry and frost-free place. If they
remain on board, they should be recharged regularly.
